Galliano rocks a tree
Friday, December 11, 2009 at 08:23AM Ah yes, time for a bit of glamour. I don't know about you, but a good dose of something spectacular is just the kind of kick in the pants I need. And today's inspirational kick is courtesy of fashion designer extraordinaire John Galliano, who created his version of a Christmas tree without an evergreen twig in sight. Instead Galliano's tree is smothered in orchids, butterflies and a rather chic leopard, all fashioned from papier-mache and inspired by the Orientalist vibe of his Fall/Winter '09 collection for Dior. If you'd like to take a gander at the tree you'll have to stop by Claridge's hotel in London, where it'll be on display until Jan 6th. Looking around for snaps of the project I discovered Galliano's original sketch, which gives a lovely peep inside the creative process, and just had to include too. Oh, and I have to thank Laird for the tip on this! Via Bornrich.

That tree is so amazing. I could stare at it all day.
He is a truly great artist. The original sketch is just as amazing as the final product.
I guess that to get the credit loans from banks you must present a firm motivation. But, once I've got a financial loan, just because I wanted to buy a bike.
Hi Arren
I have been cruising thro' your pages and I would like some info on the "tree" design by Galliano. Is it possible to obtain a copy of the design?
